spec me a wireless extender/repeater AP

[wesley]

hi guys

my mum has an ipad and with BT broadband. the hub is in living room. she'd like to use the ipad in conservatory but no wireless signal could reach to the conservatory.

so i'm looking for a wireless extender (not wired from the hub). must be able to pick up the existing wireless and boost it further into the conservatory area. will place the AP in the kitchen. (there is wireless in the kitchen)

many thanks

Like I've said to another user while you can get a wireless repeater they are very unreliable and temperamental. What I'd do is get two homeplugs, one near the router and one in the conservatory. Then plug those into an access point, you'll get a very stable and solid connection. As it is only for iPad I'd just get some 200mb homeplugs

The access point above can also be used as a wireless repeater, I've tried this one and a few others and just gave up in the end because it would keep on messing up. Used to get tops 2 weeks of connection then either had to unplug the repeater or pair it up again to the router.
